    Does grunge / alternative rock still exist as a genre in any significant way? It never even occurred to me to look if there’s still new stuff coming out in that style.

    I like to listen to oldies from time to time, when I’m in the mood. However, it’s usually just a temporary phase from time to time. Though I find it funny that someone mentioned “Semi-charmed life” in another comment because that song has popped in my head a number of times in the past month or so for no discernible reason at all. Sometimes when that happens it’s because I heard a song in a movie or TV show, so that makes sense, but I don’t believe that applies to that song.

      It does, and almost feels like there’s a resurgence of it to me. But maybe I’m just seeing it for the first time. Went to a show with Stand Atlantic, Magnolia Park, and The Home Team and they nail that alt rock vibe pretty well while still adding modern touches. And I found that just looking at local shows at moderately sized venues near me.
